Weekly Family Menus

As the primary cook and "grocery-getter" in our household, I usually write up a menu every week, and cross-reference a grocery list. This menu is usually hand written and stuck to the fridge for reference. This is important because it does more than one thing. Most importantly I remember what I bought, and when I planned to use it. I can also see if there is anything that needs prepped the day before, or if something needs to be pulled out and thawed in the fridge. The boys never have to ask me "What's for dinner?" and they'll also know if they need to have a snack in case it's not one of their faves.

I decided that I should probably take the time to just type them out, for reference in the future and as a family dietary journal of sorts. So, readers, understand that this documentation is really more of my use, but thought....hey...maybe someone else like me is searching for something to make for dinner!
